Notes Love and hugs to: Jo Thompson Szymanski for helping me work out four especially tricky counts while she was on the road teaching at an event, Megan Barsuglia for helping me with eight other counts in a parking lot a few minutes before we started our lessons, and Liya Levanda for helping me work out kinks and record an early draft.
This dance belongs in part to each of you -- thank you!

* Styling!
*31 Consider these possibilities when the lyrics say...
(second) look: add arm movements indicating a “look,” such as shading the eyes with one hand or making hand binoculars
(in his) arms: extend arms down and out to sides, hug self, flex like a bodybuilder, shrug like a T-Rex... get creative with it!
